A novel deep HOMO A(1)-pi-A(2)-D-A(2)-pi-A(1) type molecule (D(CATBTzT)BDT), which terminal electron-withdrawing octyl cyanoacetate group is connected to a benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT) core through another electron-accepting benzotriazole block, has been synthesized, characterized, and employed as electron donor material for small molecule organic solar cells (SM-OSCs). By simple solution spin-coating fabrication process, D(CATBTzT) BDT/PC61BM based OSCs exhibit a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.61% with a high open-circuit voltage of 0.93 V. The D(CATBTzT) BDT based solar cells device also can show high FF of 72% with PCEs of 2.31% which is one of the best FF results for solution-processed SM-OSCs. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
